Senator Cruz to File Amendment to Expatriate Legislation and Ferguson Justice Still on Hold

On September 8, Senator Ted Cruz
(R-TX), introduced legislation that would revoke US citizenship who is found guilty of joining ISIS. He explained
on the Senate floor why the legislation was necessary …

ISIS is a study in oppression and
brutality that is conducting ethnic cleansing against religious
minorities in the region, that is targeting and persecuting
Christians, and that is attempting to subject the local population to
the strictest forms of Sharia Law. And ISIS has gruesomely murdered
US civilians and, indeed, journalists on the public stage. It is
beyond time for us to secure our borders. Representing the state of
Texas, which has a border nearly 2,000 miles long, I know firsthand
just how unsecured the border is right now. This week of all weeks
with the anniversary of the September 11th attacks upon
us, we can have no illusions that terrorists won't try to make good
on their specific threats to attack America. And as long as our
border isn't secure, we're making it far too easy for the terrorists
to carry through on those promises. … That is why I have today
filed legislation which would amend the existing statute governing
renunciation of United States citizenship.

The proposed legislation is called the
Expatriate Terrorist Act. It will be filed next week. Senator Cruz urged
his colleagues to support the bill. Currently, it is believed that
more than twelve Americans may be fighting with ISIS, some sources claim it to be as high as 115.

The amendment provides certain actions
by which a US citizen renounces citizenship to include becoming a
member of, fighting for, or providing material assistance to a
designated foreign terrorist organization that is working to attack
the United States or its citizens. That punishment, after required
due process, prevents any American who joins a terrorist
organization, is to forfeit the right of a US citizen and ever return to the United States.

Judicial law should also be amended to
read that anyone who is found guilty of supporting, becoming a member
of a terrorist organization that enacts acts of murder and terrorism
be given the death penalty – like the international law of Geneva
Convention provides for anyone who is caught spying or committing
acts of sabotage; who do not fall under the protection of and
designated as a prisoner of war. Acts of crimes against humanity must
never be tolerated.

The former mosque of Boston Marathon Bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev and convicted terrorist planner,
Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi, Islamic Society of Boston. Continued
investigation revealed and found that Ahmad Abousamra, top propagandist for ISIS is attending worship
services at the Islamic Society Mosque. His father stepped down from
the board of directors of the Muslim organization that operates the
mosque when he discovered his son was being investigated by the FBI.
The propaganda campaign in English through Internet websites have attracted at
least 300 Americans to their jihadist cause in the Western world.

It has been over a month since
Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, Mo., and we have yet
to hear the police officer's version of events. … None of these
answers has been forthcoming, which is odd and, frankly, suspicious.
…the news that Eric Holder's Justice Department is undertaking an
investigation hardly instills confidence that the truth will ever be
known. … Police misconduct must always be taken seriously and be
vigilantly corrected, but these numbers do not come close to proving
police wrongdoing … A neutral investigation into the events in
Ferguson is obviously needed. Holder's Justice Department, locked as
it is in a space/time warp where all American cops are presumed Bull
Connors, is not likely to produce it.

We the People

“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? It is feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... [T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."[Tench Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1788]

"He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious. ... The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." [Sun Tzu]

"Liberty once lost, is lost forever."[John Adamsand Ronald Reagan]

"If you do not look upon life as a great journey filled with adventure, then life is really not worth the effort. ... If you want to see the miracle of life, be present when a child is born. When life is done, another journey begins ... because the soul is energy that cannot be destroyed, it just changes form, according to Albert Einstein." [Keith A. Lehman]

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? [Saint John, Letter to Galatians 4:16]

I ask sir, what is the militia? It is the whole body of the people. [George Mason]
